Re: Ontario Hotels

We like to live close (commuting distance maybe?) to a city but we
enjoy the outdoors. To give an example, we currently live 15 miles (30
minutes drive) outside of Manchester, UK but we are only 5 minutes
drive from the countryside. We take holidays every year in the Lake
District which is very picturesc and on The Isle of Wight which has
beautiful beaches and countryside.

So we're looking for somewhere with a population of tens to hundreds
of thousands and not millions. We're a young family so would like a
nice place to bring up children. We quite like the idea of ottawa with
it being a bilingual city.

I'm a Structural Engineer and my wife-to-be is a student midwife.
We'll both be fully qualified by the time we look to emigrate.
Obvioulsy we need to be in a location where we have no problem getting
employment.

As for our honeymoon later this year. We want to get a good feel for
the place, we've read lots about it but it's never the same as
visiting a place. We would like to visit the major cities and see the
sights but at the same time we would like to get out of the cities and
see how we like the more rural areas. This isn't a house hunting visit
or anything like that, although she would like to think of it that
way. I'm sure between now and actually moving there we will have made
a number of visits but this visit will hopefully narrow down our
search for our ideal family home.
